14 DAY TRIAL // The Spam is definitely a problem for all the internet users because the e-mail account is full with advertising messages or even with infected attachments. That's why all the software developers are continuously working to design a powerful solution that can protect our systems against these unwanted messages. You should know that the Internet contains multiple ways for spamming, the e-mail being only one of the targets. Some time ago, I wrote an article about the blog spamming that attacked blog owners with a lot of comments. At that time, bloggers used the captcha feature to block all the programs that posted the messages automatically so the issue was already fixed.
The latest spam alternative is the SMS spam that sends mobile messages to all clients of a specific operator without any way of blocking them being available. It seems like December was the month with the biggest number of SMS spam reports as F-Secure sustains. Imagine that this is one of the most annoying spam methods because the users are very vulnerable, without any solution to block the messages.
"We did talk briefly with couple of GSM operators about how to block this problem and avoid it bothering people. From what we have learned, if you as a customer of a cellular operator receive SMS spam and don't want to see more spam delivered to your mobile phone, you should report this to your operator's customer support. While we are very interested in getting reports about different SMS spam, we cannot as a third party report the abuse of the cellular operator's network. The cellular operators are able to control their networks, but they need to be informed by you, the customer, if their network is being abused against you," F-Secure said.
